Members of the LHS Band of Gold, fresh from the
morning session of their two-a-day practices, visited the South School
site of our Summer Lunch Program to enjoy lunch, talk with, and
encourage young children to set their sites on becoming a member
of the band in 5th grade. As you can see, the LHS percussion
section was a huge hit. |

Quite often
during at South School this summer, this young man brought his 4 foot
ghost ball python to lay with and share with others. The kids love it!
It was a hit at South School!
Our thanks to Mrs. Jan
Duncan, Food Service Director for Lancaster City Schools, the Lancaster
school's central office administration, principals, secretaries, cooks,
and custodians for allowing use space at the schools and helping
facilitate our Summer Lunch Program. Look for a wrap-up report soon.
